[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1591554, member: 14585"] A billion here and a billion there and pretty soon you're talking real money. - Everett Dirksen republican senator in office 1959 - 1969 Watching history of space program it was mentioned there was opposition to the Saturn program in 1961 because of its' cost of 1.7 billion per year = to $10 for every man, woman and child in the USA. 17 billion = $100 for every man, woman and child living in America. 170 billion = $1,000 1.7 trillion = $10,000 17 trillion = $100,000 170 trillion = 1 million How much is the current national debt? :( :x :cry2: 20/20 hind sight but... Ross Perot was our last chance to get it under control back in 1992 when he was pounding the table about having to work to reduce it before it hit 5 trillion. Of course few were willing to listen. Appears Dirksen was right. Another Dirksen quote I like... When a member of the House enters the Senate it raises the IQ of both. [/QUOTE]
